Hwang-ho laughed out loud as he recalled the head of the student council who had asked for a solo audience with him 15 years ago.  

“So what did Cho Eui-shin ask for?”

“He would like to hold an Alliance of the 12 meeting. Hwangho.”  

Hwangho’s eyes sparkled at the proposal of Jeokho.

“It’s not easy to gather them…… okay. But, I have a condition.”  

Living for a long time his friends and loved ones all died or fell asleep.

But the eyes of his remaining friends had changed.

After seeing those dead eyes, Hwangho, who lost all motivation had been pursuing the joy of moments.  

‘To think Cho Eui-shin would change these two, and make a move.’  

The two friends who visited him today and asked for help were different from before.

They wore the eyes of warriors standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the battlefield after a very long time.  

“Baekho, Jeokho. Stop wandering outside and come under me. From now on, the chairman’s residence will be the base. This is my condition.”  

The two tigers responded without much complaint.

“Okay.”

“I understand, Hwangho.”  

Baekho and Jeokho would have accepted this easily because they wanted to observe Cho Eui Shin’s actions up close.

Hwang-ho understood their feelings.  

“Especially you Baekho. Your name and seat were prepared already in the school. Come if you are determined.”

“Name?”

“I have already created a family register. The name registered in the database is called ‘Baekhogun’. I gave you word gun for you, who was once the brother of the head of the family. In the last dynasty of the Korean peninsula, it was said that the king’s brother was given a title with that word in it.”

Hwangho’s eyes twinkled and laughed with very little malice.  

“It would be funny to call you “Baekhogun-kun”. You’ve never laughed after you lost your true name. Even with a fake name, you have to leave room for laughs.” 

Baekho looked at Hwangho with frost-like eyes.

Even at Hwang-ho’s words, Baek-ho didn’t look particularly upset.

“Let me think about it.”  

After Baekho’s words, the brief discussion between the three tiger tribe members ended.

“Changcheon Myeonggung Ham Geun-hyung. Hello.”

“Hello, team leader Hong.” 

Hong Gyu-bin and Ham Geun-hyung greeted each other.
